Since 2014, Earth has warmed by 0.36°C per decade, which is twice as fast as before. This accelerated warming could push the ...

Global warming may be speeding up, with temperatures rising faster since 2015 and recent record-hot years reflecting a steeper climate trend.

Researchers found the first statistically significant evidence that global warming is accelerating. It's been topic of intense scientific inquiry for years.

The Earth is actually coming out of an ice age, so it's relatively cold in the grand scheme of Earth's history. But the issue ...

The pace of global warming on Earth may have accelerated significantly in recent years. This conclusion was reached by scientists from the University of Potsdam, who analyzed long-term data on the ...

A 60-million year old fossil palm leaf from Alaska. A new study by researchers including Isabel Montañez at UC Davis has produced the most accurate chart to date of how Earth's temperature has changed ...

Two new studies conclude that stabilizing long-term climate risks will require sustained net-negative carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions for centuries. Approaching the problem from distinct ...

Our planet plunged into one of the most dramatic climate states in its long history, approximately 720–635 million years ago.

The new paper is part of an ongoing research effort that began in 2018, when Smithsonian researchers were helping develop the museum’s “David H. Koch Hall of Fossils— Deep Time.” The new hall aimed to ...

When it comes to world building, some authors really put the effort in. In a new study, climate scientists attempted to model the environments of Westeros and Middle Earth – from A Song of Ice and ...

Earth’s green center has been drifting steadily for decades, reflecting a change in where vegetation grows most intensely.
